This one will divide opinion
« on: 01 May 2015, 16:38 »
I really want to hate this but I find it strangely attractive.

I'd not pay for the kit new but but if it came free with a second hand car then... ?

Hopefully the link will work as we all know what the VW website can be like.

Not a fan - particularly the rear edges look like a halfords special stick on.

Them wheels are bogging for a car thats up for sale!!!

For me one of the reasons silver is successful on these cars is because of the black detailing on the valance etc. The splitter isn't too bad, adds a bit of aggression.

Looks like an afterthought though, so it's a big fat no from me :grin:

Not a fan either, it makes looks like a downgraded version.

I'm always amazed at people or dealers putting up grubby pictures of the cars they are trying to sell.  Especially private sellers.  If you can't be bothered to go to the effort of cleaning the car inside and out in order to sell it, then I highly doubt it's had much care whilst in their ownership.

Not a fan, the car looks better standard, each to their own I guess.

Doesn't look awful at least its fairly subtle I guess! Silver isn't the best colour for the Mk7 anyway.
